SANDIS Civil Engineers Surveyors Planners announced today that it is expanding their Building Information Modeling (BIM) and 3D Laser Scanning capabilities by the acquisition of Consulting Technical Services Incorporated (CTS).

Headquartered in Pleasanton California, CTS was founded by Leo Castillo in 2012 and specializes in BIM, 3D Laser Scanning and As-Built Solutions for the Architecture, Engineering, Construction, and Facility Management industries.

“I started CTS because there are incredible benefits to be realized using 3D Laser Scanning and BIM as a basis for Design & Construction and I want to help customers realize the value of these methods to deliver better projects” said Castillo.

CTS’ experience extends across the United States and Canada and reaches numerous sectors such as High-Tech, Manufacturing, Commercial, Retail, and Medical. CTS is actively working on projects for Apple, Google, Microsoft, Facebook, Hyatt, and has worked on projects for Intel, Costco, and Kaiser.

CTS will continue to maintain its existing name and brand. Leo Castillo will remain as President of CTS and manage all operations. “For our existing and future customers it’s business as usual if not better” said Castillo.

SANDIS has been providing 3D laser scanning and BIM services for over six years and has recognized and responded to the extreme growth and demand for these professional services.

President, Ken Olcott and Vice-President, Jeff Setera spearheaded the acquisition of CTS. “We can now provide end-to-end and complete vertical solutions to our Clients” said Olcott.

After more than three years of planning, design, and construction Levi’s Stadium is ready to host its first regular-season NFL game!

We would like to congratulate the San Francisco 49ers and the City of Santa Clara on the successful completion of the most technologically advanced stadium to ever be built. TIME Magazine describe Levi’s Stadium as a “smart stadium” due to the many features such as its own app, Wi-Fi, 4G network improvements, and partnerships with local Silicon Valley tech companies. Another notable achievement of the stadium is the LEED Gold certification it received, a first for any professional stadium in the country.

We are proud to have provided stadium-wide surveying and 3D laser scanning for this project with Turner/Devcon and we look forward to working on more sustainable stadium projects in the future.
